The Youth at Risk Coalition invites families

of children and youth at risk for or who are

experiencing the challenges of school

attendance and truancy to come learn more

about the truancy court process. This will

include a discussion to strategize proactive

approaches to reducing

truancy and increasing the engagement of

families and youth.

Mission

The Youth at Risk Coalition will work towards

building and enhancing protective factors for

children and youth at risk for truancy by

examining research with respect to

prevalence, best practices, and creating

training and technical assistance

opportunities for developing and

implementing new practices in partnership

with families, schools, organizations,

and local, state, and federal government
